I don't know if anyone received this previously... it does not show in the web archive of the list so I'm resending.
Apologies if you already received it.

Hello,
I think the functions for UTF7-UTF8 encoding/decoding are not performing well, especially on the folders (view/create/rename folder).
This happens mostly on non ISO-8859-1 charsets (in the source it shows that this function is not yet done).
Is there a chance we get IMP's enc/decoding functions and use those instead? They work nicely in any system I tested IMP on.
If someone wants privately to work with me on this issue please contact me directly. I am willing to spend a lot of my time in testing and debugging. I tried to fix this myself but I'm not good enough and even though I managed to decode folders fine (these folders contained foreign chars created by other programs) I messed things up with other functions.
So basically I need someone who knows what he's doing in order to fix this together.
Also, I propose that wherever needed, we should make the charset conversion assumptions configurable by the admin and not have them hardcoded to ISO-8859-1.
If someone wants to work on this with me (I have a test system showcasing the issues which can be used for testing the fixes as well) please contact me directly.
Thanks, Eric
